Every single year since 1959, with the exception of the 2020 pandemic year, there has been at least one report of a student death related to hazing. While hazing has more recently become a focal point for risk management, it is in no way a new phenomenon. Join me in exploring the experiences of two individuals, Tony and Scott, who participated in a new member process more than 30 years apart from one another, and hear for yourself what aspects of hazing have evolved, what have persevered, and what each of their insights are on the topic.
